just curious

Brita. Better than bottle because you don't need to buy a new one (or keep a case laying around) when you want fresh water. Plus it's better for the environment since you won't be using disposable plastic bottles.

I drink tons of water and I've always had a Brita...love em. The "PUR" water filter is solid too. As long as you change the filters every couple months you'll have as much ice cold, filtered drinking water as you'll ever want.

I do like to keep 1 or 2 bottles around so I can re-fill them with Brita water, in case I want to take some out with me.

I buy a case of water/week and then refill the bottles once with a PUR filter. I've been reading about the dangers of refilling them too much so I only do it once, this also cuts down on the amount of plastic I throw away in half

Bottled water is such a waste of money, sorry. I've been filling up my gallon jug with straight city of Dayton tap water for years and it's plenty good. As for the "dangers" of reusing the same bottle (as I've heard from friends as well, not just scalato) I personally think that's a crock of horse shit. I've refilled bottles for an entire month between washing it out, whether that's the gallon jug, neoprene bottle, or just some random empty gatorade bottle. Healthy as can be.

Tap water for me.

i have a reverse osmosis system at my house so i didnt know what to vote. britas are nice but a pain in the ass to fill up all the time when ur drinking gallons a day. concur?

meijer has nice gallons for $1. not the shitty milk carton jugs either. nice clear jugs with a blue handle.

i buy like 5 of those, end up fillin them with tap. i just like the bottle. keep it in my car and refil some shit water bottles. no point in blowing a bunch of $ on fuggin water

Word.

Some cities like Seattle banned the sale of bottled water.

The tap water in my apt building smells like fucking eggs. Nasty.

Gross dude, get that Brita thing that attaches directly to the faucet.

i usually just set a bucket outside in the rain.




na but i just refill with tap everytime

That only happened when I first moved into my apartment. No one had been living in it since the complex had been built more than a year prior. Ran the faucet on all taps for about 5 minutes. Place wreaked for a good couple of hours. Now the water is fine.

Regarding Brita/PUR -- these only utilize a carbon filter that only pulls "some" of the crap that's suspended in your water. Might as well not use it if you're not replacing the filter every two-three weeks. The bacteria and other minerals will spill out of the carbon once the filter reaches about 60-70% of its max. These suck and are way too damn expensive once you stack up the filter costs. Still way more expensive than bottled, however.

Tap water is good for you in that it provides a lot of natural nutrients. Whether or not you're willing to risk a one in a blue-moon bacterial fever is up to you. Personally, we all grew up drinking out of the fountain. Millions upon millions drinking tap water. It can't be <i>that</i> bad for you.

Reverse-osmosis. This is the absolute pinnacle. Just add in a UV filter before stage 1 and you've got yourself the best filtered water on the planet. This will kill all bacteria, remove all bacteria and minerals. Reverse-osmosis, 3-4 stage will cost you about $100 (+$50 worth of filters annually). A UV-filter will be another $50-75 (+$60 for a new bulb every 6 months). If you own a house, there is no reason you shouldn't have one of these hooked up to your sink with a 1-2g reservoir tank.

EPA overlooks tap water, while FDA overlooks bottled water.

That alone should be reason enough to choose tap water. Also, tap water has fluoride in it while bottled doesn't.

a 30 case of water is like 12 bucks... i just pick one of thos up and refill them with tap until i leave them all somewhere or turn them into spit bottles for my skoal habit

usually only buy a case every 3 weeks or so

True but you do not want to be drinking fluoride-- google that

Ive drank nothin but tap my whole life. I think there was a report showin that some big name water companies were just tap water to begin with...

lol, yep!

Watch Penn and Teller's "Bullshit" episode on bottled water. It's awesome!

30 pack of water is $3.88 @ Sam's and Costco. 24pack @ Wal-mart is $4.88. You are getting fucking ripped.

yeah your right... lol just picked up one last night, not sure why the fuck i was thinkin 12?

sounds like one of the bottled tap water brands. and since it's from Wal-Mart/Sam's it's Chinese tap water
